C Compilers

Hi!

The following website lists all supported C/C++ Compilers by MATLAB for a 64-bit Windows System. http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011a/win64.html#n3

I am a bit confused, since I can't find "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Professional" on the microsoft website. I only seem to be able to find "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010". What exactly do I need to obtain to be able to compile C files? (unfortunately, visual c++ 2010 express is not an option :-( ).

Where do I find these Visual C++ products? Would need a product, which doesnt cause too much hassle, and which we may use in a chair of an university.

Grateful for any help! Jay

PS. We have MSDNA access via the university!

Why is MSVC 2010 Express not an option for you?

"Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Professional" is a part of "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010".

Why is the Express version not an option?

Hi James, hi Jan,

Express is not an option since you need to have a Windows Live-ID licence. And that is, at least what someone from the chair told me, not an option to use for a whole chair of an university.

So, to obtain "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Professional" I would need to purchase Microsoft Visual Studio 2010?

[Jan]

Yes.

[Jay]

okay, thanks.

For a compiler to work, do I need to get Microsoft Visual Studio PROFESSIONAL or is it enough if I get Standard or Express or without an addition?

If I get the "studio" do I need the Windows SDK as well where it is listed on http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011a/win64.html#n3?

@Jay: *You* have stated, that the Express version is not an option, because you cannot work with the LiveID license. Therefore you cannot work with the Express version.

You need the SDK. I suggest you read the link carefully again. These instructions are complete.

Hi guys!

I had another idea: using gcc in Windows. I found this website: http://gnumex.sourceforge.net/ The website hasnt been updated for 6 years now unfortunately, so I wonder if you know if thats still possible like this today?
